Detailed Analysis

The AI sector is currently in a "build phase" characterized by significant investments in infrastructure, hardware, and models. This investment is fueling the development of increasingly powerful AI tools and applications. "AI scaling laws suggest that AI performance scales with the size of the model and the data on which it trains. This scaling requires significantly higher computational power, which is fundamental to the AI revolution."
